Yes Tammy, you can have a go! Just don't hold me responsible for any Click Wheel-induced RSI...

I seem to have accidentally unlocked the special Thanksgiving 5K achievement and sticker in the Activity app despite the fact that it's not supposed to be available on my system. My iPhone is set to the UK region and has never been set to the USA region before, the Thanksgiving achievement...

Final update: It was a painless experience. The Genius took a look at the port, downloaded some diagnostics from the iPad, then gave me a brown-box replacement iPad Pro right on the spot without any charge. Absolutely brilliant. :)

32GB was more than enough for what I was planning to use it for. If you plan to put your movie library on your iPad however, go for a higher storage tier.

I have the 12" 32GB Wi-Fi Space Grey model. The larger screen is really useful for multitasking, I find the split-screen feature very handy for checking mail or Safari when watching something on YouTube. My main use for it is as a drawing tablet with the Apple Pencil, and it performs great. The...

A couple of months ago I bought an iPad Pro 12.9" from a retailer (not directly from Apple), today it won't charge and stopped being recognised by my computer. A quick check reveals that one of the pins in the Lighting port appears to have broken off and is missing, and this seems to be the...

Depends which Canon model. Most current-gen smartphones can produce better quality images than some of the older dedicated camera/lens combos.

It's not a bug. If a phone powers down fast enough, the loading icon doesn't appear. If you have many processes running in the background that take a little extra time to terminate before powering down, the the icon appears to tell you that.

Every year, Apple brings advancements to the camera systems in their iPhone and this year the iPhone 7 is no exception. While iPhones have surpassed basic compact cameras in terms of image quality and popularity and become the number one most used camera for photos submitted online, the...

Same here, since adding an Apple Watch all Bluetooth audio from the iPhone suffers from intermittent stuttering. First noticed on iPhone 6 (iOS 9.3.3), carried over to iPhone 7 (iOS 10.0.2).

I've had that, as well as somewhat the reverse of that. Last weekend I was in John Lewis intending to take a look at the Jet Black model (I'm using a standard Black iPhone 7) but there was too large a crowd around the display units for me to get close. It looked like they were out of stock and...

The smaller form factor is easier to hold and pocket - with a plus phone I'd be constantly worried about accidentally fumbling and dropping it or straining it in my pocket! The 4.7" display is big enough for me, if I needed anything larger then a tablet or laptop would do the job. The main...

It feels quite similar to the haptic feedback on the Force Touch trackpads on new MacBooks. If I press the Home Button when the phone is resting on a table, it convincingly feels like a mechanical button. If I press it while the phone is resting in my palm, the vibration travels through the...

I have encountered the sound, but only when synching large amounts of data to the Watch. Updating to iOS 10.0.1 didn't seem to fix it (although it sounds more like a hardware issue rather than software). I did notice the same sound coming from an iPhone 6 while using Pok?mon GO, but it might...

Thanks for the help - unfortunately there are no nearby Apple Stores. Oddly enough, my order status has now returned to "Processing Items" and the error message is gone.
